Petitioning Laser-Guided Prayer

A huge Israeli Army has gathered around the Gaza Strip for a major ground invasion. We've been here before. This is not the first time something like this has happened.
What Hamas accomplished in their surprise attack is new, but the goal of us going in to clean up house in Gaza --- is not new; and we really need to pray. There are a lot of friends, children, and husbands of ours who have been called up to active duty in the Israeli army. It's not going to be so easy to move through a densely populated area of 2 million people (Gaza), some of whom hate you and want to kill you, some of whom are not really sure, and all of whom are living in total fear and confusion.
One of our biggest prayers is for the government and leaders, the cabinet, the prime minister, and the generals. They have to make huge decisions every day. We pray that the council of heaven, the council of Yeshua will stand in their midst and that they will have courage and wisdom to triumph over this evil.
As casualties mount in Gaza you'll be hearing this sort of proportionality thing, this numbers game. It's an amazing how it works: Hamas can be both the perpetrator and play the victim at the same time. This is what we have to deal with.
We have a heart for the Arab people. We love them. We're not in favor of seeing innocent people die. And then you have maybe 30,000 Hamas jihadi terrorists in Gaza yearning to die killing Jews and Christians and then go to their pornographic heaven. It's sick. It's demonic.
Therefore another big prayer is that God will use this situation to deal a blow to this huge snake, to this stronghold called Islam --- and release millions of Arabs from its grip to be able to hear of the true God and the gospel. We pray for all of our Arab Christian evangelistic friends to succeed wildly during this time.
Please join us in these prayer directions and others as you are led by God's Spirit!
